Hi, All

The freebsd(version: 10.0, RC3) can’t be installed as kvm guest based on CentOS 6.5(kernel: kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64, qemu-kvm:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2
-2.415.el6_5.8.x86_64). When installing it, it always shows ‘booting’ and hangs.

My cpu&memory information:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
Mem: 132189664

My qemu-kvm command:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name testbsd -M rhel6.5.0 -enable-kvm -m
2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid

-vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id

  • Hi I took the following note when installng freeBSD on VirtualBox:

    Installation in VirtualBox:

    from http://www.freebsd.org/
    get a boot-install CDROM and burn it to a disk, because mounting the ISO
    file at installation-start does not work with freeBSD, you get a kernel-panic immediately. As installation source give one of the freebsd.org webs, Also, it is useless to copy an entire distribution to a local disk, using this as installation source woun’t work either.

    Possibly it may help you also on kvm.

  • This is because of an issue that has been fixed in later linux kernels. upgrading to the kernel-ml or kernel-lt from El-Repo or trying an operating systems with a more advanced kernel such as Ubuntu or Fedora should fix it.

  • Update status:
    After upgrading kernel from rhel 7 rc, it works.

    Could you remind me which patch has fixed the issue in upstream kernel?

    thanks in advance.
